Brady Smigiel Delivers Electric Performance Vs Calabasas

Smigiel turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 263 yards and four touchdowns on only 19 passes, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Newbury Park pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season. Smigiel and Newbury Park will look to defend their home field on Friday against Westlake at 7:00 p.m.

Big Game from Bell As Westlake Fell 41-14
While Westlake might've come up empty on Thursday, Demanie Bell wasn't going down without a fight. Bell was dynamite, rushing for 135 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
